Child Advocacy and Protection: Patient Care

The Child Advocacy and Protection Services (CAPS) program consists of a hospital-based program and several outpatient Child Advocacy Centers that serve Milwaukee and the surrounding areas.

The hospital-based CAPS program provides consulting services to children seen at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and associated clinics as well as to community physicians, law enforcement, and social services when concerns about child maltreatment arise.
